Jerk the humbuckers out and put in a set of 57/62 reissue single coils from
Fender. ta-da - you're surfin for not a lot of loot.
As for rich kids and Fenders - it's hard to believe today, but in the early
60's, Fenders were one of the cheaper instruments, with the Strat and Tele's
being on the low end of the spectrum. They were not 'rich' kid toys till the
CBS era. Fenders were primarily regional, i.e. - Southern Californian -
birthplace of Surf, home of Fender. They didnt take over the world till
Hendrix took a hankerin to one...
